"Doonesbury" ties threat levels to election
Today's Doonesbury "connects the dots" between the terra threat levels and Bush's re-selection chances. Here's the link:

1. "Either you support the President in a time of crisis or you don't."
I am a loyal American citizen, and as such am prepared to support any legitimate President in a time of crisis.

8. I throw my full support behind President Gore
Who is the legitimately elected President of this country. Bush is a usurper, a pretender and a fraud.

7. The war in Iraq was instigated by Bush.
In the past when we went to war after we were attacked, it was logical to support our war president. But in this case, it has become apparent to all but the most blind partisans that Iraq had no intention of attacking us, and no links of any consequence to terrorism. We went to war because of Bush and his neocons' desire to remove Saddam Hussein, and because they thought they could get their greedy hands on Iraq's oil.

What has been the result? Osama Bin Laden and his gang are still at large because we have diverted most of our military to an unnecessary war in Iraq. Thousands of Iraqis have lost their lives. 7000 American soldiers have been maimed, and 1000 are dead. We have wasted $200 billion so far. We are caught in a quaqmire in Iraq, the people hate us, and most of the world despises us.

Some have said that Dubya is the worst president that we have had since James Buchanan. I say that is a smear against Buchanan. If ever a president deserved to be booted out of office, it is this one.
